A special high mountain command composed of nine experienced soldiers is sent to a military base in a desolate high-plains moor of Colombia with wich contact was lost several days ago and was believed to be the target of a guerrilla attack. Upon arrival, the only person found inside the base is a peasant woman who is heavily chained. Gradually, the isolation, the inability to communicate with the outside world and the impossibility to escape, undermine the integrity and sanity of the soldiers, causing them to lose the certainties about the identity of the enemy and creating them doubts about the true nature of that strange and silent woman. Prisoners of fear, paranoia and a dark secret that they carry, they will challenge each other becoming animals willing to kill one another in order to survive. (Wild Bunch Distribution)

A military unit going somewhere runs into some kind of – better yet if it is supernatural – evil. This is a bloody good premise. I remember other pretty similar films from recent years (we’ve actually had two in the last six months), but none of them managed to fully exploit its potential. And yet, a film with a premise like this could be great – an abandoned place, an underground bunker, magic, the supernatural, cabin fever… But no, after a promising beginning all of them fall into either mindless shootouts or psychoanalytical dramatic boredom, and you don’t have any character to relate to. It’s a shame. The Squad is well made, it takes place in a nice atmospheric setting for horror, but in the end it’s nothing more than average. Oh well!
